FALL RIVER SCHOOLS

The Fall River school system consists of two elementary schools ( P-6), one junior high school(7-8) and one of the most modern new high schools(9-12) in the country. Everyone in the Fall River area attend the same senior high school but which elementary or junior high school you attend depends on where you live. Basically anybody who lives in Swartzwald or farther out goes to Holland Road Elementary and all others go to Ash Lee Jefferson Elementary. Ash Lee Jefferson, Lockview High School and George P. Vanier Junior High are all within a short walk of each other on the Lockview Road. Some children in Capilano Estates go to Beavebank for elementary and junior high school. Bussing is available for children who live more than 2.5 kilometers from the school. Early french immersion and late immersion is available as well. As of April 2006 french immersion was available at Ash Lee Jefferson, George P Vanier and Lockview High School. This is constantly changing. You should call the school durectly to confirm. For a list of what schools in metro offer french immersion click here FRENCH IMMERSION.
